What camufix doesn't like about José I Franco Carvalho:
We entered late and maybe that was the problem. People were nice enough, but you could tell that they had enough for the day (normal). Ok food, didn 't hurt anyone, but there was normal food, nothing special about it, when I compare with all the meals I had in Madeira this was the worst , it wasn 't bad... but it lack some effort. View all feedback. What EmmaandQuinten likes about José I Franco Carvalho:
We tried this based on a recommendation from a local. It was great! Lots of local people were dining there. Best Espetada (beef skewers) we've had so far. Nice views. Very cheap. View all feedback.

Eating was very disappointing. huge portions, but no love and no quality. the garlic bread was the most sad thing we had on the island. the meat was overcooked....

Another great fish meal in this simple restaurant. The fish skew (charuteira) was perfect, and the ideal is to always ask what is fresh/ catch of the day.
